Beat ya to it blah, I had to move jumpers on jp1 and then back however it still hung up on processor test. When you switch jumpers do you switch them, then turn pc on then off, then switch back or do you just switch them when the pc is off? I even took the cmos battery out and unplugged the pc and left it unplugged for 20 minutes or so. Extremely upset. About to throw it off my third story apartment balcony.

Also if my ram or something else was the problem wouldn't I get post beeps? I tried everything you said. No luck... This situation sucks because I can't even narrow it down to what I would need if I needed something new... RAM? HDD? PROCESSOR? in that order?
